That Can't Be True with Chelsea Clinton

Hantavirus Outbreak: Separating Fact from Fear with Jessica Malaty Rivera

May 14, 2026·47 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Headlines about a hantavirus cluster aboard the MV Hondius have sparked confusion and fear — but how worried should we actually be? Here to set the record straight is infectious disease epidemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera, who clearly lays out the facts(how does it spread?), the risks(should I cancel my cruise?), and answers why her concerns lie elsewhere. Plus, the norovirus, measles, ivermectin, and why we should maybe stop saying “trust the science.” You can follow Jessica @jessicamalatyrivera on Instagram and TikTok.
